You needed only to watch the scene on the 18th green on Sunday evening at the Zurich Classic to know that was true.
It was there, on the 18th, that the Fitzpatrick Brothers emerged victorious after a glorious mid-range sand-shot from elder brother (and U. S. Open champ) Matt.
And it was there, on the 18th, that Alex realized the fulfillment of his greatest life dream. “Yeah, I’m still lost for words,” Alex Fitzpatrick said afterward, still gobsmacked. “Just an overwhelming emotion of happiness.
Like Matt said, at the start of the week it was coming here to be a family and spend time with each other, eat Mr. B’s, and have a great week. To be sitting here now and done what we did, yeah, I’m pretty speechless.
